Product Description

Calcipotriol (MC-903; Daivonex; Dovonex; PRI-2201; Psorcutan; Sorilux) is a synthetic calcitriol/Vitamin D3 (VD3) analog and an agonist of the VD3 receptor. It is used in the treatment of psoriasis and marketed under the trade name Dovonex. It has comparable affinity with calcitriol (Vit. D) for the Vitamin D receptor (VDR), while being less than 1% as active as the calcitriol in regulating calcium metabolism. Chronic plaque psoriasis is the chief medical use of calcipotriol. It has also been used successfully in the treatment of alopecia areata.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
In the absence of IL-17A or IL-22 stimulation, calcipotriol either had no effect (2–20 nM) or only slightly increased (0.2 nM) the expression of IL-8 mRNA in NHEK cells. Our earlier research was validated by the addition of IL-17A and IL-22, which greatly raised the mRNA expression of IL-8. In a dose-dependent manner, 2, 20, and 40 nM calcipotriol can suppress this increased IL-8 mRNA expression [1]. The expression of NK cytotoxic receptors, or KIRs, is modulated when medicines are administered to natural killer (NK) cells. For four hours, calcipotriol, FTY720, or 100, 10, or 1 ng/mL of 1,25(OH)2D3 were applied as a pretreatment to human NK cells. Following a 4-hour incubation period, the expression of NKp30 on the surface of NK cells was considerably elevated by all three doses of 1,25(OH)2D3, calcipotriol, and FTY720 [2].
ln Vivo
The diclofenac plus DFMO plus calcipotriol group resulted in 1 out of every 32 animals dying, whereas all other animals in this group survived. Every group had a similar survival rate. Diclofenac plus calcipotriol (p=0.018) and diclofenac plus DFMO plus calcipotriol (p=0.002) therapy groups showed considerably less weight gain when compared to the placebo (linear regression model) [3].

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
